Hi Jan, thanks again. I expected this would fix my permission problem, but it didn't. Apparently there's a difference between how Ubuntu's default Samba configuration handles cifs and smb: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/samba/+bug/98658 While: ket% sudo mount.smb //mog.local/share /mnt -o guest - does work, ket% sudo mount.cifs //mog.local/share /mnt - and - ket% sudo mount.cifs //mog.local/share /mnt -o guest - don't : ( I assume that if I could get mount.cifs working without a credfile, auto.smb would also work. Thanks for walking me through this problem Jan, but unless you have any additional suggestions I'd say the problem is with our Ubuntu Samba server. Jack
